- angelzen 5y agoThat an outrageous 0.0015% of the estimated 6.8 billion price tag of the 2016 election. Damn Ruskies and their election interference [shakes fist at the sky]. Fun fact, 100k is 0.4% of the price of the Mueller report itself, at 25M. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/election-2016s-price-tag-6-8-billion https://www.cbsnews.com/news/election-2016s-price-tag-6-8-bi... https://time.com/5557693/mueller-report-cost https://time.com/5557693/mueller-report-cost
- SquishyPanda23 5y agoThat is Facebook ad spend, not the total cost of the attack. It doesn't include other things described in the paragraph that the IRA did, like organizing Trump rallies and running troll farms where they posed as Americans on social media. It also doesn't cover things like paying for the operation to infiltrate the NRA etc. And then of course there could be stuff we don't know about
